Does the spigot clog? Is there a filter behind it? Thanks for your answer.

I use mine for home brewing and have an elbow inside to draw from the side that I added. It has never clogged on me. There is no filter on the inside included but would be easy to add one!

We used it only to boil water. It did not clog and there was no filter behind it.

I assume you are using this for homebrewing? No, there is no filter, and yes, the spigot could possibly get clogged if you have a whole lot of hop gunk in your runoff, but if you whirlpool the wort before draining, you won't have to worry about either of those problems.

If you brew beer with lots of hops there's a chance it could clog. I have only had it clog at the very end of draining (once or twice out of 12 brews) at that point it made almost no difference.

The spigot is not prone to clogging, there is no filter (buy that seperate)

spigot doesn't clog. There is no filter behind it. You can add 1/2 inch filter tube.

There is a spigot as shown in the picture, but I honestly don't think it would be a very "controlled" pour so I haven't used it. I just pushed it in tight so that the barrel doesn't leak. Sorry that I'm not absolutely certain. Mine is more of a conversation piece.

No. But if you go to their site they will tell you how to clean the filter that may be clogged with sludge from your water. It is simple to remedy with a non metal cleaning pad to scrape of outer sludge from filter while running under water.

Not really, it drips from the cooler tube into the spigot, the plastic spigot has a glass insert that holds the charcoal filter. I know because I dropped mine and watched it fly into pieces across the floor, luckily they sell replacements(the curse words are free of charge).

No, but it does look like one! The filter has a smaller flow of water, about the diameter of a small straw or thin pencil. The unfiltered flow is about your normal faucet flow and comes from the chrome to the left of the filter in this illustration. The filtered flow is smaller. It takes me about 4 minutes to fill a plastic gallon jug from the filter. 4 minutes in the house, not going to the store for a gallon of water. I try to fill a few jugs when I have time, a couple in the fridge and a couple to store for pet water bowls, plant watering, and any other needs for filtered water. Good luck!

sorry--mine does not have a filter and the user guide makes no reference to one----I use only filtered water

No, the spigot is plastic with a chrome coating on the outside. There is a plastic washer on the inside as well.

Dont buy it if you have hard water in your house... it clogs super easy. it comes with a metal filter, but thats about it.

The black piece on the left near the end of the hose in the photo is rubber like. You insert it into the gutter, it is funnel shaped and will catch most of the water...the extra flows off it and down the spout. When the barrel is full you don't have to do anything...the water just can't go in the barrel anymore. I highly recommend getting a better spigot. .it comes with plastic. I do however think this is an excellent system. Very easy to install and works great.

Inside the plastic connector where it's connected to the provided water line, there is a strain filter which could be seen after using a dime or a big screw driver to unscrew the big plastic cap. I have mine for over 6 years now and no issue with water clogging.

No the tank does not have access to clean - HOWEVER the tank must be filled full the first time to use it. Then release ALL the water at once through RO spigot. We did ours twice. The instructions have the common filter change times (usage). There is also an extra set of filters included.

It doesn't filter, other then the small cap on the bottom of the siphon that keeps the tube off the bottom of the carboy. Any suspended sediment will go through the tube. I start high in carboy and slowly lower the suction tube as the level drops. Works very well.

I have a similiar setup on my camper... an in-line filter outside on the hose feed... and an EZ-3 filter under the sink feeding a seperate water spigot.

Yes, this has the updated spigot. However, we found the spigot problem occurred when the rubber washer was placed on the inside of the fermenter (it should be placed on the outside) and most importantly, these customers used StarSans as the sanitizer. This is an acid based sanitizer and should never be used with our equipment.

there is a drain spigot under the unit. There is a front spigot near the bottom on the front. And there are two overflow protrusions at the back

It's good, but if you run water through it too high, be careful of where the spigot attaches to the unit because it might leak. Mine now leaks a little every time i use it because there is nothing to seal it. That's the only complaint I have with this.

Mine has not leaked at all. The spigot will clog occasionally with bits of lemon, etc. but other than that i had no problems. The lid is snug but not airtight. I will buy another if this one were to break.
